Shock Top is a wheat ale, similar label I guess.

Excellent trailer. I'm not sold on the RTT but I'm definitely digging the lid.
 
I'm really beginning to hate YOU! ...lol :flipoff2:

Congrats bigtime on the tent bro!!
 
One of my favorite trailers just got better, congrats on the aquisition! :clap:

Just spent 4 days in the RTT in heavy rains, the changing/living room and attached awnings/coverage holds a new interest to me. Having a shadyboy gazeebo just didnt do the trick.

Your gonna want to consider adding a tailgate. Once setup it's a PITA if you need something in or out of the trailer.... would imagine moreso with the Serengetti styling.

Didnt realize your in the Niagra area..

actually the tailgate is already done .. one of the first mods we did.. guess it is just kida hard to see in those pics.. i thought long and hard before i puchased this tent and knew that i had to have an add a room of some kind i have spent too many camping trips huddled under a tarp trying to stay dry..and it sucks,, this tent the ground room is 7' x 7' i was thinking that may to be too big for some of the spots we camp.. but i am sure i prolly wont reget it after i have used it a few times .
tailgate is there

the plan is to use the trailer a few times and see what mods are next. im thinkin a slide out at the side will be nice.. now i have notice a change in the COG now that this tent is mounted so maybe a water tank underneath might not be a bad idea.. i usally carry an msr water filter and a couple of gallons of fresh water max .. now i have lots o room for so a tank might be good
 
Very nice trailer. Great fab job. Awesome tent.

BTW - are those hinges just heavy duty door hinges that you welded the holes closed?

ha ha i laugh every time i see that one.. that ol yellow jeep is really built up nice beaumont was still wrenchin on that thing the night before the run ..but stuff happens at least his wheels didnt fall off , now that wood be bad ..

those hinges we made with some stainless rod and sone pipe layin around the shop super easy to make...
 
oops im bad.. sorry the front hinges on the lid we made ,, the hinges on the talgate were not .. i honestly dont know where they came from ..randy had them in his shop.. left over from some job he was doin.. they fit the bill so we used em..
 
How well does the lid seal? Experiencing any problems with mud, water, dust getting in? Or, is it too early to tell?

Best mod you've made yet to your J%*p! :flipoff2::hillbilly:;)

i dont know if you can tell from the pics but the lid folds over the edge of the trailer bout 1/2 an inch.. now i used the trailer on our may 24 run and it was raining.. the trailer inside was bone dry.. so im sure dust shouldnt be an issue either since then i have added a strip of foam rubber seal 1'' x 1/4'' all the way around the edge for added protection.. the only problem i will have is at the bottom of the tailgate.. i havnt figured out what i am gonna do there yet.. that one is gonna be a little harder to seal...:confused:
 
well i just got back from a rain shortened fishing trip a couple of hours north of toronto.. it was supposed to be 5 days we stayed 4.. 3 of them rained.. the tent/trailer was fantastic we ended up on a nice lttle lake with no fish so we used it as a base camp and fished a couple of nearby lakes. when it wasnt raining we we catching tons .. a couple hundred nice bass between the 2 of us.. and practicing catch and release we kept 2 smaller ones to eat.. any way i dint get many pics of the trailer in action i just forgot.. i was too excited to get fishin.. anyway here are a couple of pics for ya
